Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Early Summer (Noire, Omnisphere)
This is a music track that I improvised on two MIDI keyboards connected to Bitwig Studio on a desktop PC. There the MIDI was routed to Noire for the piano and Omnisphere for the background instruments.
After bringing the audio recording into Vegas Pro, I applied the Lurssen Mastering Console plug-in to the audio mix.
It's titled Early Summer.
Edit: Swapped out for a better mix

You really seem to have the coolest tools for these improvisations.
Do you ever perform like this live or is the set-up too complicated for mobile situations?
Lovely!
Beautifully simple @DavidEnglish
Thanks, @McD, @Svetlovska, and @Edward_Alexander. Much appreciated.
@McD, no, I haven't tried to perform live with my desktop setup. It would be cumbersome, but doable. Except I don't think the result would be as good.
While I don't change any notes from the initial performance, I do routinely change the tempo, swap out presets, and adjust the mix and effects to improve the performance. Also, the improvisations go much better if I'm not thinking about (or worrying about) the outcome.
It's like writing versus public speaking. I'm not a good public speaker because I'm too self-conscious about it.
So wonderful, keep me like floating on your music.
🙏
Thanks, @BerlinFx and @GeoTony. Much appreciated.
